First Nations Health Authority open low-barrier vaccine clinic in PG

May 11, 2021 | 4:39 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – As supply ramps up, a lot more vaccines will be made available in the coming week for those who want it in Prince George.

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) opened a low-barrier COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Tuesday morning with room to administer 250 doses of vaccine a day.

The Urban and Away From Home Indigenous Clinic will provide access to vaccines to Indigenous people who are 18 and older and have not already received their first dose.

The idea of the clinic is to make vaccines as low-barrier as possible to accommodate anyone Indigenous who may not be able to book an appointment online.
